Three new players have punched their LIV Golf tickets for 2024.
After three days of play and 72 holes of competition – including 36 on Sunday – Kalle Samooja, Kieran Vincent and Jinichiro Kozuma have advanced from the inaugural LIV Golf Promotions event at Abu Dhabi Golf Club and will have a spot on a team for the 2024 season.

Kozuma, 29, has played on the Japan Golf Tour since 2012 and has two wins under his belt, the 2020 Mitsui Sumitomo Visa Taiheiyo Masters and 2022 Token Homemate Cup.
The following players who finished Nos. 4-10 have earned exemptions into the 2024 International Series on the Asian Tour: Laurie Canter, Jaco Ahlers, Zach Bauchou, Poom Saksansin, Kevin Chappell, Martin Trainer, Suradit Yongcharoenchai.
